Objective: Liver cancer is the second most common cause of death from cancer. Physical activity (PA) was found to be associated with lower risks of several types of cancer. However, the association between PA and the risk of liver cancer is still inconclusive. This systematic review and meta-analysis was aiming to summarize the association between PA and liver cancer risk.

Methods: Literatures related were identified by searching PubMed, EMBASE, and Chinese Biomedical literature database from 1965 to 2017 without language limitation. Meta-analyses were performed using random effect model.

Results: A total of 5 cohort studies involving 2 513 975 subjects were identified. The pooled relative risk of leisure-time PA with liver cancer risk was 0.92 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.84-1.01]. There is no significant association between leisure-time PA and liver cancer risk. However, leisure-time PA significantly reduced liver cancer risk in never smokers. The pooled hazard ratio of daily total PA with liver cancer risk was 0.75 (95% CI, 0.66-0.86).

Conclusions: Daily total PA significantly reduces liver cancer risk, whereas leisure-time PA significantly reduces liver cancer risk only in never smokers.

Background: The metal oxide nanoparticles possess unique properties such as biological compatibility, superior reactivity, and capacity to develop reactive oxygen species, due to this they have drawn significant interest in cancer treatment. The various MONPs such as cerium oxide, Copper oxide, Iron oxide, Titanium dioxide, and Zinc oxide have been investigated for several types of cancers including brain, breast, cervical, colon, leukemia, liver, lung, melanoma, ovarian, and prostate cancers. However, traditional physiochemical synthetic methods for MONPs commonly include toxic materials, a major concern that raises questions regarding their biocompatibility and safety.

Background: Fatty liver disease may be associated with increased risks of intrahepatic and extrahepatic cancers. Our objective was to investigate associations between new subcategories of steatotic liver disease (SLD) recently proposed by nomenclature consensus group and cancer risk.

Methods: A total of 283 238 participants from the UK Biobank were included.

The prognostic significance of the red blood cell distribution width to albumin ratio (RAR) spans various diseases, yet its utility as a biomarker for hepatitis B virus-related hepatocellular carcinoma (HBV-HCC) remains unclear. We retrospectively studied 1,413 patients with HBV-HCC. Receiver operating characteristic curves identified optimal RAR cut-offs, stratifying patients into H-RAR and L-RAR groups.

The underlying mechanisms between cancer stem cells (CSC) and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in pancreatic cancer (PC) remain unclear. In this study, we identified TGIF2 as a target gene of CSC using sncRNA and machine learning. TGIF2 is closely related to the expression of SOX2, EGFR, and E-cadherin, indicating poor prognosis.

Cold exposure has been historically used for medicinal purposes, but its benefits and associated mechanisms in mammalian organisms still remain unclear. Here, we explore the chemoprotective properties of cold temperature using a mouse model of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) that recapitulates several human features. Chronic cold exposure is shown to prolong lifespan in diseased mice, enhance liver health, and suppress the development of aggressive HCC, preventing hepatocellular hypertrophy, high-grade oval cell hyperplasia, liver steatosis, and aberrant hepatocyte hyperproliferation.
